Beyond Happiness: How to See the Wisdom in Negative Emotions

HJ: There is great wisdom in them thar’ negative emotions.  But in all seriousness, ‘difficult’ emotions are the doorway to our most profound level of healing.  They are the flower whose roots lead deep into our hearts and minds and reveal to us those places which still need love and acceptance.  It is only when we deny them or do not heed their lesson that they persist.  When we turn our gaze inwards and let them lead us where they will, we find their source and can then decide if it serves to continue to hold on.
